#242This is unacceptable and a growing issue in America, anti-AI has become just another focal point for the far end of the political spectrum to rally and ultimately radicalize violence.

You can't keep marginalizing people and expecting stability. Here's your canary.

I recently saw a lecture by neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky [1] which discussed the complexities of human violence. We both condone and don't condone violence all the time, depending on social context. And furthers, our ways of expressing violence are varied (even down to tiny things like the silent treatment). We (along with other animals) have always used aggression to enforce social order and obtain social benefit.…
I think you meant condemn, but otherwise, well said.
Ah yes in the second paragraph I definitely meant condemn, thank you.

We invented something called “democracy” to fix this, and then we allowed enough wealth to accumulate that the wealthy just bought it and nerfed it. We went through a cycle like this once before in U.S. history, and the amount of violence it took to correct the overreach of organized money was not 0.

This has been the historical cycle for as long as we have records of human history. Power begets power and greed. Eventually either everyone else reaches a breaking point and "eat the rich", or an external group takes advantage and eats everyone. Then we try again.

Because people might have missed it last thread, here's dang's response to the discourse: > I don't think I've ever seen a thread this bad on Hacker News. The number of commenters justifying violence, or saying they "don't condone violence" and then doing exactly that, is sickening and makes me want to find something else to do with my life—something as far away from this as I can get. I feel ashamed of this communit…

only on this site would people need a neuroscience lecture to understand elements of human nature that are apparent to most elementary schoolers

Very well said.
I agree this is a symptom of large systemic issues.
Long gone are the days a bumbling fool could get a well paying job at the local power plant and provide a good life for a wife and three children, with a large home, decent insurance and two cars.

You're so right, only the Wealthy are allowed to infiltrate homes!

I think the point is that there's going to be an increasingly large percentage of the populace who think that the AI bosses / billionaire class did indeed do something against them.

#250Political violence is not acceptable in a democracy. Full stop, no "but". That's all that needs to be said on this thread.
America was built with violence, what makes you think that violence will not be this year's theme? People are tired
